Umm...... I'm not noticing ANY lag.. matter of fact the PvP guild of 23 some odd people I'm in haven't been noticing any lag either.. perhaps the LAG question isn't as bad as your making it sound. Yea YEa yea... some people have posted on UOHALL... I bet alot of others that aren't experiencing the lag didn't post though.... Anyway... we know we know.. your lagging.... IF the Dev's do ANY reading They know your lagging... do you have to bump your own threads repeatedly to continue to beat the dead horse ?

My pings were horrendous last week but since EA re-rerouted around that first laggy hop in the tracert (the new route goes through sprint instead), my lag has vanished. I'm playing on Atlantic from Chicago.

Just logged in, recalled to dungeon, ran around... Still stuttering and lagged.... exited dungeon, recalled back to house, logged out.

Still unplayable.

Ping still good, no packet loss.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

The game was unplayable for me until the 'fix'. Was it not geographical? Possible there are still areas experiencing problems, maybe EA could assign one DEV to this particular issue to concentrate on the location of the problem?

My thought is, if even those that are not having lag issues help those that still are, EA will continue to look at the situation and not think the problem is solved.

my ping times are back to normal and i don't have any packet loss. that's not what i'm talking about.

You know, you sound like one of those guys who would call his insurance company...just to yell.

who are "those guys"? i don't get it.

i'm not "just yelling"

i paid for a product/service. i'm not receiving it. i've decided i'll ask for game time credit. the customer service reps have the power to do it. it would be stupid not to state my case and try to be reimbursed. does that offend you or something? why are you lashing out?

Let's look at the post and not the poster. A player is still unable to play the game, a game which this poster WANTS to pay to play. This concerns all of us, how long will any of us have this particular game when players are going elsewhere?

We need to support those that are still having lag issues. And....its a good thing those that are having issues are speaking out for assistance instead of closing their account.

- sounds good to me
Just thought ya' might want to file some complaints with your ISP since according to uo.com it was a telecom company's network that was causing some of the recent lag issues. I don't think EA chooses how you connect to EA but I do think the ISP that you pay for carries that burden.

I'm not sure why I even care, but, again:

It is not my ISP.

Also: EA chooses how it connects to internet backbones and so does my ISP. It's a 2 way street.

UO is providing their service to you.
Your ISP was sending you thru some poor hops on the way to UO's address.
Don Quixote told me he thinks you're chasing the wrong windmills.

Not quite true for the lag we are experiencing now. Our pings are normal, but the lag is still present. It's not as bad as it was before, but there is still something wrong and I do believe it is on EA's end... perhaps server related.

yeah I haven't bothered reinstalling UO because another poster said it didn't make a difference. If the Dev's suggest I reinstall UO I'll do it.

My apologies for being ambiguous. I meant to state that since my ping times and packet loss have improved, I am no longer experiencing the stutter-stepping and lag, connecting from Chicago to Atlantic. These threads generally collect many replies with various peoples' experiences from across the world, and as such I figured I'd report that everything seems fine from Chicago (should a dev happen to read this and attempt to piece together the scenario that is causing your lag).

I wasn't really affected by the really severe lag that has been reported lately, but I do notice some hang-ups, stutters, and random lag 'pockets' still occuring. Certainly hasn't been game-stopping for me thankfully, just annoying.

I am playing Chesapeake shard, connecting from the south central US. Cox Cable is my provider.

For those of you who are experiencing latency issues we wanted to let you know that we've identified an issue with an individual telecom company whose network is affecting performance of players whose service is routed through their network at any point, particularly on the East Coast. We're sorry for the inconvenience everyone and thank you for your patience as our team continues to work with this provider to resolve the issue.
